Abstract: A circuit arrangement provides a way of protecting a differential pair of bipolar transistors by diverting the current into an n-channel MOSFET which is driven into conduction during an ESD event and allows a larger swing of input voltage than the anti-parallel diode pair. No extra processing steps are required and the MOSFET is driven on, rather than relying on parasitic bipolar npn transistor triggering into snap-back as in the grounded gate NMOS transistor that is commonly used for ESD protection in CMOS integrated circuits. An ESD protection circuit is provided for protecting a differential pair of transistors having two input terminals. The circuit comprises a switching element (such as an NMOS transistor) having first and second terminals and a control terminal; a first resistive element, coupled between the first and control terminals of the switching element; and a second resistive element, coupled between the second and control terminals of the switching element; wherein the first and second terminals of the switching element are for connecting, respectively, to input terminals of the different pair.

Abstract: A weft holder device holds the free weft thread ends in an air jet loom, using pressurized air and without requiring a suction device. The body of the device has a tapering opening through which the end of the inserted weft thread extends. The opening tapers into a narrower slot in the beat-up and drawing-off direction. An air flow channel communicates downwardly from the slot. Nozzles blow pressurized air downwardly through the slot and into the channel, to pneumatically push the weft thread ends into the channel, so as to hold the weft thread ends from when they are beat-up and bound into the woven cloth and a catch selvage, until the catch selvage is trimmed from the cloth. The weft holder device may be stationarily mounted at a location between a weft detector and a weft tensioner that are connected to the reed so as to move therewith.

Abstract: A dock leveler, for bridging the gap between a loading dock platform and a vehicle at the dock, includes an adjustably overlapping lip and ramp that provide a traffic surface of variable length to accommodate situations where there is only a limited amount of space for the lip to rest on the rear of the vehicle. The lip pivots and translates from a stored, pendant orientation to an operative orientation with a range of extended positions. In the stored position, one edge of the lip protrudes above the deck to inhibit material handling equipment from accidentally driving over the edge of the deck when a vehicle is not parked adjacent the dock leveler.
